Warren Point
I had spent one week with two Swedish friends in Omeath, Co. Louth just south of the border with Northern Ireland. The painting is of Warren Point which on the other side of the water looking north.

Northern Ireland may not be the best place on the planet for compassion for other beliefs or cultures but they do have beautiful coastlines thankfully. This sketch was painted in a new sketchbook that has Saunders 300g, I think it’s bound by the art store where I bought it. I really like it. 🙂
I have gotten out of the habit of blogging, I have to admit I am more focused on just painting. Google doesn’t seem to support Blogger anymore so I’m thinking of moving to WordPress in the future. I would like to post more, just spontaneously putting things on the blog. Google doesn’t have an app for Blogger anymore on iPhones, that’s sad.
The painting of Swedish summer  was started during a lunch break and finished in the evening.
I had a wonderful day at Edsvik’s watercolour exhibition where I have two paintings on view. I met a lot of new watercolourists plus a few heroes which was nice. The exhibition continues until the 28th August.

Stockholm Urbansketchersm in Hökerängen, Stockholm.
I ordered a new phone today. Hopefully the camera is fool-proof. Here is an improved photo of last weekend’s Urbansketch.
I spent most of the day with my fellow Stockholm Urbansketchers. We sketched in Hökerängen, an old 1940’s suburb in the south of Stockholm.
Like this watercolour, I have been quiet these last few weeks. I’ve been busy with other things, life hasn’t put enough hours into each day. I seem to be going through a bit of a grey period. All my watercolours have a desaturated look all of a sudden. I don’t mind, it’s just a period in my life.

I found these two YouTube videos of Edward Seago’s work. Very inspiring, I need to travel more! If you would like to learn more about the artist, click here.
